Stones could return to Liverpool! Everton set to sign Manchester City defender this summer
Everton are seriously considering bringing back their former defender John Stones.
Details: The 31-year-old John Stones' contract with Manchester City expires this summer, and the Toffees' management sees this as the perfect opportunity to strengthen the back line with an experienced pro. The club is ready to offer the Englishman a deal as soon as he becomes a free agent.
According to Football Insider, despite the appeal of a free transfer, the deal could prove extremely difficult to pull off. The main stumbling block is the defender's financial demands. Stones is reportedly seeking a significant signing bonus, which could put considerable strain on Everton's budget. The club will have to weigh all the risks carefully before making an official offer.
It's worth noting that John Stones spent three successful seasons at Everton before moving to Manchester City in 2016. However, this season has been far from his best at City, with the defender featuring in just fourteen matches across all competitions and failing to register any goal contributions.
Reminder: Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush has caught Barcelona's eye.
